How does this industry work??

By scanning my computer online with some of the multiple
online services available, I have been informed that my
computer is infected with "spyware" and/or "adware."

Apparently, my anti-virus software doesn't consider this
to be a threat and therefore does not check for or clean
adware or spyware.

Is there ONE service or software that I can purchase that
will be reliable of keeping my computer free of viruses,
adware, spyware, etc?

Spy ware/scum ware is NOT a virus, and you shouldn't expect an antivirus
program to find it.

Download and run adaware and spybot.

Adware and spyware are not viruses.
